There's nothing like running a signal through a well-designed piece of analogue gear, at \"unity\" gain without any \"processing\" applied at all. Simply exploiting the sound of some of these analogue input and output gain circuits with processing bypassed is often-times just the thing to bring subtle life or organic size and depth to recorded audio. That’s what the fully balanced P331 is all about; giving you control of how an audio signal passes from input to output and how it can be enhanced throughout its journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSOUL\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1939, just a few weeks after the start of WWII in Europe, RCA Radiotron introduced the 6SN7 octal (8-pin) double triode tube to the American market. This was the birth of the true common ancestor of all modern double triodes used in high fidelity amplifiers. The 6SN7 is still in production after over 80 years, for good reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e6SN7 vacuum tubes of the 1940s vintage were chosen for this amplifier due to their lower distortion capabilities that exceed that of the standard and ubiquitous 12A*7 variety. The 12A*7 varieties were incarnated due to commercial needs such that they were “better, cheaper, lighter” at the expense of embodying more distortion. With the advent of feedback, tube amplifiers could be mass produced with these less expensive 12A*7 style tubes using more feedback to reduce distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile feedback reduces distortion, it also lowers overall amplifier gain. It might have been considered heresy to reduce the gain through feedback (and reduce distortion) in earlier tube designs since minimal gain was still extremely expensive prior to the 1950s. Thusly, earlier tube designs were lower distortion on purpose; especially for their critical role in modulation based communication systems that had more stringent requirements than the average 1950s guitar amplifier tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNotwithstanding, ultimate circuit topology can bring out more second harmonic characteristics than usual with any tube design. Hence the impetus for the variable circuit topologies within the P331 Tube Loading Amplifier to allow the user to do so as necessary or not at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHEART\u003cbr\u003e\nFor any amplifier to be truly great you have to start with good clean power. The P331’s linear power supply is the most critical “component” for audio integrity next to the actual gain structure and circuit topologies within this amplifier. High voltage plate\/anode tube power supplies start at around 320V DC and are filtered (up to 6 times) and smoothed with active regulators. It only uses film capacitors and real inductors (chokes) to remove ripple and noise from the high voltage power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBRAINS\u003cbr\u003e\nWe’ve taken the very best of vintage analog technology and married it to the best of modern computer-optimized circuit design. This allows a level of precision and clarity which was simply unimaginable when tubes of this vintage were originally developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe P331 is full digitally controlled analog. Each parameter is fully repeatable and can be recalled via front panel rotary and toggle switches commanding over 80 sealed precision relays. No audio runs to the P331’s front panel and only the finest components are used throughout the audio path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLOADING\u003cbr\u003e\nThe LOADING circuit is part of the fully differential (balanced) Class-A tube amplifier. It was designed to coerce an audio signal to hit the tube at different points on its response curve. As the gain increases to the tube, the signal is padded down in equal measure. This allows precise and repeatable loads to be applied to the tubes. It also helps to ensure minimal level gain or loss, allowing you to audition the enhancement the tubes are imparting without drastic changes in level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two modes of operation for the LOADING circuit:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“CLEAN” = Feedback Mode – Utilizes the manipulation of feedback to affect internal tube gain, subtle non-linearities and even order harmonics.\u003cbr\u003e\n“BLOOM” = Feedforward Mode – Utilizes the manipulation of plate loading to affect internal tube gain, slightly-less-subtle non-linearities and even order harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAUTO-PADDING (PRE, POST, OPEN) – One of the key elements of the P331’s LOADING circuit is its auto-padding feature. As gain is increased to the tubes, the signal is padded down in equal measure. It’s a cool feature and essential to the concept of the unit. To make it even cooler, we provide the ability to control where in the circuit the padding occurs (PRE or POST) or disable the auto-padding all together (OPEN). When in PRE, the auto-padding occurs to the signal before it hits the tube. In POST, the auto-padding occurs after the tubes. While in OPEN the auto-padding is disabled and your Loading knob allows you to crank it up while using your output Gain as a “master volume” of sorts similar to how a guitar amplifier with a master volume would function. It’s all about experimenting and letting your ears guide you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLIFT\u003cbr\u003e\nThe LIFT circuit is a gentle parallel filter that enhances the highs, lows or both the highs and lows of the signal. Audio passes through the LIFT circuit before the LOADING circuit. With any of the LIFT filters engaged, the audio is passed unscathed through the fully balanced P331 circuitry and blended with harmonic content of the LIFT and LOADING circuits working in concert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eXFORMER\u003cbr\u003e\nThe P331 is designed to run fully transformerless in its default state. This provides the purest, cleanest and most unaffected audio path through the unit. However, in keeping with the P331’s versatility, the operator may switch in output transformers and select two optional settings to load them in different ways. This provides additional options for enhancing the subtle textures of recorded audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOUTPUT GAIN\u003cbr\u003e\nTo faithfully reproduce the sound of the audio passing through the tubes and other circuits in the P331, we implemented a low distortion, fully balanced solid state amplifier for the output gain section. The output gain circuit offers 11dB of boost or cut in 1dB increments. However, for even finer control, the “Resolution” switch allows the operator to “zoom in” .25dB or .5dB to the current setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHARD-WIRE BYPASS\u003cbr\u003e\nEach section of the P331 (with the exception of the Loading circuit) can be fully hard-wire bypassed.

At low current the Vulture is \"starved\" and the sound is inclined to be thinner and \"break up\" easily. High current and the Vulture is over-fed and becomes quite fat and bloated. At medium current (0.25-0.3 mA) it distorts least, and this is the best setting for just \"warming up\" a sound.

The only small exception is that the Gamma Burst circuit has a different transformer\/capacitor arrangement. It is similar to the original Nuclear Unicorn but has been altered in order to optimise options and tonal responses in conjunction with the Low, Mid, and High additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMultiband of Doom\u003cbr\u003e\nSo you have wrapped your head around the Nuclear Unicorn and all of its options and abilities - Good! Now imagine three more full Unicorns all running in parallel with the first one, but each of these parallel Unicorns are programmed to only control a certain frequency range (Low, Mid or High) and imagine all of the insanely cool options you now have to shape tone, distortion and outright mayhem!

Different combinations of these switches and knob settings gives an impressive amount of control in dialling in your exact high cut, allowing for this unit to shine on nearly any source!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Control Names\u003cbr\u003e\nPAD - This switch enables the user to lower the volume of the source feeding the NU\u003cbr\u003e\nMegaton Increase - This switch is a type of top boost in that it gives a large boost to the highs and high mids when needed. This especially helpful for dark mics and instruments\u003cbr\u003e\nShock Wave - With this much gain you always need a low cut control. This knob gives the ability to drop the low end from the beginning of the circuit in order to retain clarity, especially when driven into heavy distortion\u003cbr\u003e\nRainbow Crush - Ever wanted to use a diode based distortion but only on the highs and high mids? This switch is for you! Crunch with punchy bass!\u003cbr\u003e\nMass Destruction - This is the first gain stage control and will drive the rest of the entire circuit\u003cbr\u003e\nTactical Mode and Enhanced Tactical Mode - These switches are there to cut the highs (think close to Air Band) and are primarily useful when using a lot of distortion. They can help keep the signal from breaking down into oscillation when needed or desired.\u003cbr\u003e\nMore Mass Destruction - This controls the second gain stage\u003cbr\u003e\nSum of All Fears - This knob controls the third gain stage\u003cbr\u003e\nFallout - Finally you have the control for the final gain stage that also acts as the Trim control\u003cbr\u003e\nGamma Burst - This switch engages a unique mid cut circuit driven by a transformer and variable capacitor bypass. When you think of this switch imagine taking a source like a bass guitar and making it sound really, really mean.\u003cbr\u003e\nUnicorn Sparkle - This is the knob that allows you to raise or lower the highs in the mid cut circuit.

The controls for Low, Mid, and High are also the exact same as for the regular Nuclear Unicorn and correspond directly. Thus, each set of controls for that band allow you to control the gain staging and shape of tonal response for that particular frequency range. It can be helpful to simply imagine four Unicorns stacked on top of each other, with the full range of EQ and controls available on the bottom one, and only gain controls for the three above, and each of those three Unicorns above controlling a set frequency range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes some getting used to and can seem like a daunting task, but it quickly becomes intuitive and a near infinite range of applications and creativity makes this tool indispensable!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheer power and versatility of this unit is unmatched by anything on the market today and will bring even the most boring of sources to life with minimal effort.

It can be on its own or with its \"Sibling\" The Oven and they compliment each other very well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eI Know What We Need....MORE TONE!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe BYPASS switches allow the user to completely disengage The Stove at any time in order to properly A\/B a mix (true bypass).\u003cbr\u003e\nThe \"Flow\" control allows the user to set the volume coming out from The Stove. It affects the overall volume and tonal impact of the unit as well, hence, why its called \"Flow \" - How much is flowing from Gain stage one to Gain Stage two of the unit. When set to max (default) you will have the full sound of the unit with all its harmonics, or you can lower the output so it wont clip the gain staging of the unit ( 2nd Gain stage ) and the next gear in line or the converters.\u003cbr\u003e\nLeft and Right CALIBRATION is used to Gain match the Left and Right signals, accounting for any volume discrepancies encountered. Interestingly enough, these calibration controls can also be used to alter the tonal response of The Stove if so desired. For example, it is possible to bring the Calibration volumes up and the Flow down (the flow knob used to attenuate the output), resulting in The Stove driving the signal harder than normal, increasing saturation. If your rig is running very hot you can lower the calibration settings to get more headroom coming in the unit to avoid oversaturation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe SIMMER Control Knob alters the drive circuit, allowing you to push both the solid state and tube sections for extra juice. This knob is the \"MAGIC\" and the key to making the big changes.\u003cbr\u003e\nSmall Moves = Big Changes.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt can stay punchy and tight even in some very aggressive settings and will give an IMPACT to the sound while increasing volume and cohesion in a subtle way while still sounding rich and open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Simmer \"RANGE\" switch allows you to choose between driving it \"SHORT\" or \"LONG\" thus increasing the intensity of the SIMMER knob range if needed - It's Like having two modes, one light on the saturation (SHORT) and the second (LONG) is pushed and driven giving it a saturised tone.. A little goes a long way on this LONG setting. It can especially make 808s come alive!!!\u003cbr\u003e\nThe FLAME control is the Diamond here!!!!!\u003cbr\u003e\nIt allows the user to introduce the Triode Tube stage (12AX7) to the circuit for a tight and clear saturation that will enhance literally anything that runs through it. It can sound bigger without adding much level, thus staying in the same sonic \" Zone\" but more upfront \u0026amp; in your face with rich and open harmonics that are smooth but clear on the ears and create a sense of fullness and depth with not much effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe NEUTRAL \/ ENRICHED switch allows the user to change the voicing of the tube and how it responds to transients. In NEUTRAL it will operate with full dynamic response whereas in ENRICHED it will get the vibe of a \"Hot-Rodded\" machine with a saturated wide mid presence that pushes forward.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ELEC\/ OIL \/ GAS switch allows the user to increase the energy of the FLAME control. ELEC will be the more subtle and clearer sound while GAS will be representing a bold, thicker and harder treatment option. Oil is the \" In between\" sound where it is powerful enough but not too aggressive. Each setting will react differently to the incoming music, so having a switch to toggle between the three options makes it very easy to audition the Flame Knob setting and deciding which one works best for the source material.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe LOW BURN, MID BURN, TOP BURN controls (we call them: THE BURNERS), give the user the ability to drive certain bands for more saturation when desired. Each band operates in a way that engages the entire circuit as a whole processor in order to give an incredible diversity of options and tone enhancing saturation. This maximises the versatility of the unit in a way that is quite rare. You can boost and cut the saturation and apply tonal shaping in creative ways like using big brush strokes in a painting.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe SAUTE control - The name says it all and this one only goes up (not in flames!) - It's a boost only and you have two modes for it: Higher.... and More Where That Came From!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach BURN TYPE switch will alter the area covered by the BURNER and SAUTE controls.

Figuring out a way to bring life and impact to music that sounds stunning and yet does not consume immense amounts of time and is easy to recall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEnter the Hendyamps Collins - Problem solved!\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Collins is intended to be the definitive solution to all sonic needs by giving the user the ability to enhance individual tracks, buses, or full mixes with any combination of transformers, mosfets, pentode tubes, and triode tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHIGH VOLTAGE MOSFETS\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Mosfet stage, running close to 400v, provides a truly unique and incredibly rich tonal response. Based on the Warhol preamp, this stage is able to provide a punchy and full sonic imprint, fulfilling the need for quick transient response as well as a density increase that can take an audio track from boring and lifeless to immense quite easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePENTODE TUBES\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Pentod stage runs EF806 (EF86) tubes which are known for their articulation and aggressive behaviour. On a track or mix this stage is often pure magic as it tends to add a little brightness and raw energy throughout the sonic spectrum, something that is almost always a welcome addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTRIODE TUBES\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Triode stage is all about rich, creamy harmonics, adding a gloss over everything it touches. Often this stage will add a smoothness throughout the sonic spectrum, hiding issues in a track or mix, and especially bringing a warmth to the low mids. Usually when an engineer is looking for something to add a final polish to a mix, this is the perfect solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTRANSFORMER 1\u003cbr\u003e\nThe first transformer is actually an odd choice for a \"line level\" piece of gear, but the intention was to both squeeze as much tone out of a transformer as well as allow the Mosfet, Pentode, and Triode stages to open up a bit more at the same time. This transformer is a 1:4 step up, but wired backwards, meaning when engaged, the volume will drop and one or more of the gain stages will need to be used to bring the volume back up. This transformer should provide a compression to the signal as well as a perceived tightening of the low end and provides some outstanding results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTRANSFORMER 2\u003cbr\u003e\nThe second transformer is actually a power supply choke (think more inductor) but with a bypass capacitor applied in order to allow the low pass created by the transformer to return to \"full band\". The result is that there is a light dip in the low mids which is wonderful for removing the \"mud\" from a track, along with adding some rich texture to the highs especially.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTRIM AND FULL OPERATION\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Collins is a truly unique design and provides an infinite number of options and possible combinations, but is still quite easy to use. In order to accomplish this, the two Transformers were placed in series and the gain stages were placed afterward, and yet the gain stages were designed to be in parallel with each other. Each stage and transformer can be completely removed from the circuit with the flip of a switch, and as such, everything becomes interactive. As well, combining multiple gain stages naturally produces a wide variety of volume levels and thus, a Master Trim control was included in order to set a final output level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMICHAEL ROQUE COLLINS\u003cbr\u003e\nHendyamps has a habit of choosing names for its studio gear based on various artists that best encapsulate the sonic images it paints (at least in the mind of Chris!) and for this piece of gear Chris chose the painter Michael Roque Collins because Collins' complete body of work has demonstrated a complete mastery of nearly every style and genre. His own style is both beautiful and haunting, but his ability to walk into any artistic world is both legendary and inspiring, and as such, Chris believed it best described the Collins' ability to bring sonic beauty to any musical genre and do so in a fresh and beautiful way (it probably helps that Chris studied painting under Collins for several years!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded Features\u003cbr\u003e\nFull Stereo Design\u003cbr\u003e\nTrue Bypass Switches\u003cbr\u003e\nControls for Mosfet, Pentode, Triode, and Transformers\u003cbr\u003e\nStereo Trim Knob\u003cbr\u003e\nLeft and Right Calibration Knobs\u003cbr\u003e\nStepped control option available\u003cbr\u003e\nTransformer balanced input\u003cbr\u003e\nAll hand-wired construction\u003cbr\u003e\nAll hand wired construction\u003cbr\u003e\nDesigned and built in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hendy Amps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57960041382271,"sku":"49369","price":3699.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/1216\/1407\/files\/49369-1.jpg?v=1783941983"},{"product_id":"solid-state-logic-ssl-the-bus-and-fusion-bundle","title":"Solid State Logic SSL The Bus+ \u0026 Fusion Bundle","description":"If there is a single piece of analogue processing equipment that is synonymous with SSL, it must be the SSL Bus Compressor. From the very first commercially released SSL 4000 B console in 1976 and through many generations of SSL consoles that have followed, the Bus Compressor has always been the stalwart of the console centre section.\n\nFor many of the world’s top engineers and producers, the Bus Compressor continues to be the most relied upon processing tool for making mixes sound bigger and more complete, with drive and energy from adding that legendary SSL glue and punch.\n\nWith THE BUS+, Solid State Logic have been on a mission to create the ultimate and most versatile incarnation of the Bus Compressor ever. The bedrock of the design remains faithful to the original circuit and using this as the foundation, they’ve built upon it, adding several unique colouration options and advanced processing tools. If you need it to be clean and punchy like the SuperAnalogue 9000 Series version, it can be. If you need it to be gritty and grungy like an early 4000E, it can do that also. Or if you need over-the-top, saturated parallel compression for the drums,THE BUS+ has got you covered.\n\nTHE BUS+ circuit design not only utilises high-grade components, such as the 2181 THAT VCAs in the audio path for superior analogue performance, it is also incredibly flexible, offering four modes of operation and 3 distinct compression colouration options that can be combined to perfectly suit the genre you’re working on. As if that wasn’t enough, THE BUS+ features an all-new Dynamic Equaliser, aTransient Expander and comprehensive connectivity and routing options.\n\nTHE BUS+ is the ultimate SSL Bus Compressor.\n\nKey Features\n\nThe ultimate, most versatile incarnation of the Bus Compressor ever\n\nAuthentic SSL Bus Compressor circuit utilising high-performance 2181 THAT VCAs.\n\n4 modes of operation - Classic Stereo, S\/C Stereo, Dual Mono or Mid-Side.\n\nNew Attack and Release time constant options - more flexibility to shape the Bus Compressor, including the new 'Auto 2' setting.\n\n3 distinct compression colouration options, which can be combined or used individually:\n\n4K Mode - single VCA operation with variable harmonic distortion to bring some 'grit' and 'grunge' to the mix.\n\nLOW THD Mode reduces low-frequency distortion caused by compression, cleaning up the bottom-end.\n\nF\/B Mode alters the compression characteristics for a more 'relaxed' style of compression.\n\nOutstanding sonic performance and stepped pots designed for mastering and precision processing applications.\n\nBuilt-in 2-band Dynamic EQ (D-EQ).\n\nTransient Expander.\n\nConfigurable processing order - Bus Compressor pre D-EQ (default) or post.\n\nExternal side-chain inputs and sends.\n\nVariable side-chain High-Pass Filter control up to 300 Hz in 10 Hz steps.\n\nMix control for instant parallel compression.\n\nNew colours from the masters of analogue.\n\nFusion is an all-analogue 2U outboard processor created for the modern hybrid studio. Fusion introduces five completely new analogue colouration tools designed to bring the perfect combination of added tonal character, weight and space to your mix bus or stereo stems, with the detail, warmth and finesse that only real analogue circuits can provide.\n\nThe SSL sonic legacy is built upon a much-emulated collection of analogue audio processing tools that have featured in generations of studio consoles; pristine mic pre’s, classic Channel EQ \u0026amp; Dynamics, the legendary Stereo Bus Compressor, the Listen Mic Compressor, and the unique SSL summing bus. Fusion takes SSL into a new era with the introduction of a suite of new analogue processing tools that offer exceptional tonal character and versatility. Fusion expands the processing palette for hybrid studio owners and is a superb partner for the SSL Stereo Bus Compressor.\n\nFusion features five analogue processors that can be used discretely or combined;\n\nVintage Drive - is a unique non-linear harmonic enhancement circuit that brings cohesion and strength to your mix. Drive and Density controls interact to produce harmonic saturation and soft compression derived from overloading an analogue circuit. It can be used lightly for subtle thickening saturation or driven hard for more extreme distortion.\n\nThe SSL Violet EQ - an all-new minimum phase-shift, two-band shelving EQ. The first new SSL analogue EQ circuit for more than 25 years draws on the SSL legacy of carefully selected frequencies and response curves to create a musical and intuitive EQ designed to quickly dial in low-end weight and high-end sheen. High and Low frequency circuits each offer four switched frequency points and +\/-9dB attenuation.\n\nA new High Frequency Compressor delivers the distinctive sound of high frequency rounding in the analogue domain. A compressor that effects high frequencies only, optimised for smooth and transparent harshness reduction and a tape-like high- frequency roll off – great for taming brittle high frequency fizz.\n\nA new Stereo Image enhancer provides a true analogue Mid-Side circuit that manipulates the Side signal, allowing for widening and spatial manipulation of the stereo field.\n\nA switched, custom-designed SSL Transformer circuit introduces subtle low-frequency saturation, alongside a high-frequency phase-shift. The result is a simultaneous thickening of the low-end and an added sparkle to the high-end.\n\nExpertly designed for today’s hybrid studio\n\nSSL has also always been known for clever connectivity and features that streamline and accelerate production workflow. Fusion fits right in with a collection of workflow enhancing features including: +\/-12dB Input and Output Trim controls, an Input overload LED, large peak-hold metering, a front-end 3rd order High Pass Filter with three selectable cut off frequencies, and tri-colour status indicators for the Vintage Drive and HF Comp sections. A set of XLR connections can be used either as a Stereo Insert for stereo mix bus processing or switched to function as a Mid-Side (MS) circuit enabling separate compressors or EQ to be applied to the middle (centre) and sides of a stereo signal. In Stereo Insert mode the insert point can be switched to pre-Violet EQ, when in MS mode the insert can be switched to pre-Stereo Image controls.

These are high-fidelity, hybrid vacuum tube \/solid-state audio enhancement devices. They’re identical in their signal flow and control circuits, however we designed the P331-EVL to be more direct…more forward…less “polite” in its presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo what are the differences?\u003cbr\u003e\nWell let’s start with what’s the same. Like the original P331, the EVL version utilizes digitally controlled analog for all controls. Left\/Right coherence is every bit as precise. The fully-differential solid-state output amplifier is unchanged. The LIFT circuit is also identical in both units, however, since the lifted frequencies are affected by the harmonics generated by the LOADING section…LIFT on the EVL will not sound exactly the same as the original P331.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fully-differential tube LOADING amplifier in the EVL starts from a much different point. While the LOADING control is functionally the same as the original P331 in that it controls the 6SN7 tube’s operating point, it’s being pushed much harder from the start. It’s not like a distorted guitar amp…it’s still “mastering appropriate”. It’s simply a different, more forward “feel” than the original P331.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe XFORMER section is where the most differentiation occurs. We’re driving WAY more current at the transformers …forcing them much further into saturation. The result is a more pronounced low-end presence, thrust and punch without becoming stuffy or losing clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSOUL\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1939, just a few weeks after the start of WWII in Europe, RCA Radiotron introduced the 6SN7 octal (8-pin) double triode tube to the American market. This was the birth of the true common ancestor of all modern double triodes used in high fidelity amplifiers. The 6SN7 is still in production after over 80 years, for good reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e6SN7 vacuum tubes of the 1940s vintage were chosen for this amplifier due to their lower distortion capabilities that exceed that of the standard and ubiquitous 12A*7 variety. The 12A*7 varieties were incarnated due to commercial needs such that they were “better, cheaper, lighter” at the expense of embodying more distortion. With the advent of feedback, tube amplifiers could be mass produced with these less expensive 12A*7 style tubes using more feedback to reduce distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile feedback reduces distortion, it also lowers overall amplifier gain. It might have been considered heresy to reduce the gain through feedback (and reduce distortion) in earlier tube designs since minimal gain was still extremely expensive prior to the 1950s. Thusly, earlier tube designs were lower distortion on purpose; especially for their critical role in modulation based communication systems that had more stringent requirements than the average 1950s guitar amplifier tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNotwithstanding, ultimate circuit topology can bring out more second harmonic characteristics than usual with any tube design. Hence the impetus for the variable circuit topologies within the P331 Tube Loading Amplifier to allow the user to do so as necessary or not at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHEART\u003cbr\u003e\nFor any amplifier to be truly great you have to start with good clean power. The P331’s linear power supply is the most critical “component” for audio integrity next to the actual gain structure and circuit topologies within this amplifier. High voltage plate\/anode tube power supplies start at around 320V DC and are filtered (up to 6 times) and smoothed with active regulators. It only uses film capacitors and real inductors (chokes) to remove ripple and noise from the high voltage power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBRAINS\u003cbr\u003e\nWe’ve taken the very best of vintage analog technology and married it to the best of modern computer-optimized circuit design. This allows a level of precision and clarity which was simply unimaginable when tubes of this vintage were originally developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe P331 is full digitally controlled analog. Each parameter is fully repeatable and can be recalled via front panel rotary and toggle switches commanding over 80 sealed precision relays. No audio runs to the P331’s front panel and only the finest components are used throughout the audio path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLOADING\u003cbr\u003e\nThe LOADING circuit is part of the fully differential (balanced) Class-A tube amplifier. It was designed to coerce an audio signal to hit the tube at different points on its response curve. As the gain increases to the tube, the signal is padded down in equal measure. This allows precise and repeatable loads to be applied to the tubes. It also helps to ensure minimal level gain or loss, allowing you to audition the enhancement the tubes are imparting without drastic changes in level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two modes of operation for the LOADING circuit:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“CLEAN” = Feedback Mode – Utilizes the manipulation of feedback to affect internal tube gain, subtle non-linearities and even order harmonics.\u003cbr\u003e\n“BLOOM” = Feedforward Mode – Utilizes the manipulation of plate loading to affect internal tube gain, slightly-less-subtle non-linearities and even order harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAUTO-PADDING (PRE, POST, OPEN) – One of the key elements of the P331’s LOADING circuit is its auto-padding feature. As gain is increased to the tubes, the signal is padded down in equal measure. It’s a cool feature and essential to the concept of the unit. To make it even cooler, we provide the ability to control where in the circuit the padding occurs (PRE or POST) or disable the auto-padding all together (OPEN). When in PRE, the auto-padding occurs to the signal before it hits the tube. In POST, the auto-padding occurs after the tubes. While in OPEN the auto-padding is disabled and your Loading knob allows you to crank it up while using your output Gain as a “master volume” of sorts similar to how a guitar amplifier with a master volume would function. It’s all about experimenting and letting your ears guide you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLIFT\u003cbr\u003e\nThe LIFT circuit is a gentle parallel filter that enhances the highs, lows or both the highs and lows of the signal. Audio passes through the LIFT circuit before the LOADING circuit. With any of the LIFT filters engaged, the audio is passed unscathed through the fully balanced P331 circuitry and blended with harmonic content of the LIFT and LOADING circuits working in concert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eXFORMER\u003cbr\u003e\nThe P331 is designed to run fully transformerless in its default state. This provides the purest, cleanest and most unaffected audio path through the unit. However, in keeping with the P331’s versatility, the operator may switch in output transformers and select two optional settings to load them in different ways. This provides additional options for enhancing the subtle textures of recorded audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOUTPUT GAIN\u003cbr\u003e\nTo faithfully reproduce the sound of the audio passing through the tubes and other circuits in the P331, we implemented a low distortion, fully balanced solid state amplifier for the output gain section. The output gain circuit offers 11dB of boost or cut in 1dB increments. However, for even finer control, the “Resolution” switch allows the operator to “zoom in” .25dB or .5dB to the current setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHARD-WIRE BYPASS\u003cbr\u003e\nEach section of the P331 (with the exception of the Loading circuit) can be fully hard-wire bypassed. There is also a global hard-wire bypass to remove the entire unit from your signal chain…although, we’re fairly confident you won’t want to use it much.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whitestone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57960049082751,"sku":"48423","price":4995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/1216\/1407\/files\/48423-1.jpg?v=1783941678"},{"product_id":"thermionic-culture-ultra-vulture","title":"Thermionic Culture Ultra Vulture","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Culture Vulture, one of Thermionic Culture’s longest running and best known products, has enjoyed a special place in the outboard equipment selection of many studios worldwide.

Anything from subtle HiFi enhancement that you barely hear (until you bypass and feel something is missing) to saturated and driven aggressive sounds, and everything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaken from Maor Appelbaum's personal creative mastering concepts and built with HendyAmps' impeccable knowledge of creating some of today's most unique analog processors, we bring you a creative and versatile tool for the current Composer \/ Producer \/ Engineer \/ Mixer and Mastering Engineer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo when they ask What's Cooking??? We can proudly say \"THE OVEN\"!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES\u003cbr\u003e\nThe BYPASS switches allow the user to completely disengage The Oven at any time in order to properly A\/B a mix (true bypass). We mean TRUE\u003cbr\u003e\nThe TRIM control allows the user to match the volume coming from The Oven to any desired level. If you go FULL ON AGRESSIVE you can trim the output so it wont clip the next gear in line or the converters.\u003cbr\u003e\nLeft and Right CALIBRATION is used to Gain match the Left and Right signals, accounting for any volume discrepancies encountered. Interestingly enough, these calibration controls can also be used to alter the tonal response of The Oven if so desired. For example, it is possible to bring the Calibration volumes up and the Trim down, resulting in The Oven driving the signal harder than normal, increasing saturation. If your rig is running very hot you can lower the calibration settings to get more headroom coming in the unit to avoid oversaturation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe TEMP Control Knob alters the drive circuit, allowing you to push the Tube and SolidState sections for extra saturation. This knob is MAGIC and the key to making the changes. Small Moves = Big Changes. It can stay punchy and tight even in some aggressive settings.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe TEMP RANGE switch allows you to choose between driving it LOW or HIGH thus increasing the intensity of the TEMP knob range if needed - It's Like having two modes, one light and easy on the saturation and the second hotter and pushed giving it the energised feeling. A little goes a long way on this HIGH setting.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe COOK control is GOLDEN ! It allows the user to drive the pentode tube stage for an overall thick saturation that will enhance literally anything that runs through it. It can feel bigger without adding much level, thus staying in the same \" Zone\" but warmer \u0026amp; rounder with rich harmonics that are easy on the ears and create a sense of fullness with not much effort\u003cbr\u003e\nThe BAKE\/BROIL switch allows the user to change the voicing of the tube and how it responds to transients. In BAKE it will operate with full dynamic response whereas in BROIL it will naturally compress the signal and increase the saturation complexity. That's where you can make it HIFI, MOJO-FI, and anything in between to be VIBE-FI\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ELEC\/GAS switch allows the user to increase the push of the COOK control. ELEC will be the more subtle and clearer sound and GAS will be presenting a more bold, thicker and harder treatment option, in this case Intensity is not a dirty word.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe LOW BURN, MID BURN, TOP BURN controls (as we call them: THE BURNERS), give the user the ability to drive certain bands for more saturation when desired. Each band operates in a way that engages the entire circuit as a whole processor in order to give an incredible diversity of options and tone enhancing saturation. This maximises the versatility of the unit in a way that is quite rare. You can boost and cut the saturation and tonal shaping in creative ways like using big brush strokes in a painting.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe SIZZLE control - The name says it all and this one only goes up ( not in flames ) - It's a boost only and you got two modes for it: Higher.... and More Where That Came From!\u003cbr\u003e\nEach BURN TYPE switch will alter the area covered by the BURN and SIZZLE controls. It's like getting two at the price of one\u003cbr\u003e\nThe BUNSEN switch alters the TOP BURN control so that it provides more range to work with. That gives the user four different tonal options on the TOP Burner - The area where its very important to get the right harmonics to make the track get its presence in the mix and master\u003cbr\u003e\nThe BURNED switch changes the Oven into a lofi environment where the signal begins to narrow its bands of operation a bit and also brings a higher level of distortion with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA Masterclass In Tone\u003cbr\u003e\nAnother unique feature of The Oven is that when you purchase one, you are not simply getting an incredible piece of gear. You are also getting a one-on-one masterclass with Maor Appelbaum where he is able to personally walk you through his Oven workflow and methodology, as well as help you fully integrate your new Oven into your setup.
